Southern United striker Garbhan Coughlan and Phoenix defender Liam Moore clash at Sunnyvale yesterday. Playing in the heat, Southern United looked composed on the ball and found the space to get in behind the Phoenix youngsters on a regular basis. Southern United coach Paul O’Reilly said it was a good performance from his side, although he felt Phoenix competed well. He praised the defence — "been rock solid all year" — and also felt Ledwith had a good game.
